CoronaryCTA
Aortic and Pulmonary Studies
The purpose of these applications is to reduce motion
artifacts in the lung, the aorta and the pulmonary
arteries due to transmitted cardiac pulsation. It is
intended for imaging the aorta and pulmonary arteries
with contrast medium ECG-gated spiral scanning, e.g.
for aortic dissection or pulmonary emboli. The follow-
ing scan protocols are predefined:
You will find these protocols under body region:
Vascular
• ThorCardioECG
– Spiral mode for ECG-gated thorax CTAngio studies
using a rotation time of 0.42 sec.
• ThorCardioECG037s
– Spiral mode for ECG-gated thorax CTAngio studies
using a rotation time of 0.37 sec.
